I tried posting this at the paradox forums (which deal with gamersgate), but unfortunately nobody has been able to solve this problem so far. Basically, I install BoA from Gamersgate (v1.07), and then install the 1.13d patch (downloaded from this forum). I have tried this multiple times (sometimes playing the game, then installing), and everytime it corrupts my install so that the game crashes when I try to load it.

Here is the error message I receive while installing the patch (the only way to continue the installation is to press "ignore"):

I have no idea how to solve this problem. I like the game, but I'd prefer to play it with the latest patch, and am therefore waiting until the issue is resolved before I begin a new campaign (unfortunately, that wait has lasted a week so far).

Sorry that you're having problems with the patch. From the looks of it, I'd say it has to do with non-Ascii letters in the file name (and the inability of the computer to deal with them).

It's a problem I've seen a few others here have, but I don't recall right now what the solution has been. I'll go and see if I can find something about it. Rest assured, I'll be very surprised if we don't have this sorted out in a lot less than a week

Looking at other reports alon the same lines, it seems that especially Asian versions of Windows have a problem with filenames with accented characters. I know that such names are no longer present in newer versions of AACW and NCP, but I'm not sure what the status is for BoA.

If you don't get an answer here with a day, I recommend mailing support@ageod.com with information about your purchase and containing the info you provided in your first post.

(Though, rather than deleting, simply move away, in order to not do anything irreversible at this point)

In my install, the "é" works fine [but I'm running North American system ]. You can simply rename the file if that helps, too. It's the unique content of the file that matters. ...and it's file name probably needs to end with ".mdl"

Always ask yourself: "Am I part of the Solution?" If you aren't, then you are part of the Problem! [CENTER][/CENTER]

RAfe: I have tried to buy three smaller games from Gamersgate and succeeded in their taking my money but I have been unable to download any of them!!!! They have no idea of what the problems might be. These games are not available in hard copy. apy:
